His research interests include less invasive, safer, and more accurate access to surgical sites within the skull by combining image-guided surgical techniques and miniature parallel robots directly attached to the bone. Another area of his research focuses on the importance of hearing preservation in cochlear implantation utilizing image guidance and a force-based flexible path to improve the performance of non-traumatic cochlear implantation surgical techniques. All the aforementioned research studies are in collaboration with many other departments and are NIH funded.
